Meet Tanja

East Bay Realtor®, Scientist, Negotiator

Tanja Odzak brings more than a decade of real estate experience, sophisticated marketing, and skilled negotiation to clients throughout the East Bay. She has sold 109 homes, more than $100 million in all, and was named a RealTrends Verified Top 1.5% Realtor® nationwide in 2026 and an eXp Realty Top 100 California Producer in 2025.

Raised in a family of real estate investors, Tanja developed an early understanding of homeownership, renovations, and rental properties. She later earned a Bachelor of Science from UC Berkeley and a Master of Science from UC Davis. That scientific training informs her work today: she studies the data, recognizes patterns, and gives clients clear guidance for consequential decisions.

As a Master Digital Marketer, Tanja pairs targeted advertising and market analysis with nearly seven years of consistent real estate video marketing. For sellers, she builds a connected online presence for every listing, with targeted Facebook and Instagram ads, her website, YouTube, Google, and AI working together, so the home can be found by the right buyers. For buyers, she uses her knowledge of the East Bay to identify opportunities and negotiate with purpose. She is also a Master Certified Negotiation Expert, a designation earned by fewer than 0.1% of real estate professionals.

Tanja is particularly sought after for her knowledge of older homes and complex transactions. She guides clients through purchases and sales, 1031 exchanges, divorce-related sales, inherited properties, trust and probate sales, and other major life transitions. Whatever the circumstances, she brings discretion, energy, and close attention to the people behind each decision.

Her guiding principle is simple: Putting People Before Profit.

Client Reviews

In Their Own Words

“We literally could not have done it without Tanja! She was there for my sister and I every step of the way as we went through the difficult process of selling our family home in Oakland after our dad passed away.… Tanja truly did find that "needle in a haystack buyer" for us!”
Elizabeth S., Seller, Piedmont Avenue, Oakland
“…She fought tooth and nail to close on a complicated and difficult home. WE WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THIS HOME WITHOUT TANJA. I guarantee it.”
Tyler P., Buyer, Highland Terrace, Oakland
“…Selling a house while moving abroad felt like an overwhelming task, but she handled it with such ease and professionalism that we barely had to lift a finger.… Her ability to foresee and resolve potential issues before they arose was truly remarkable. She left nothing to chance.”
